The Civil Rights Justice Center has filed a lawsuit against several parties whose negligence resulted in numerous counts of sexual assault of an underage girl. Under Washington law, police officers are mandatory reporters who are required to contact Child Protective Services (CPS) when they receive a child abuse complaint.

Seattle civil rights attorney Darryl Parker represents his client, Maria Morales, in her lawsuit against the city for her false arrest and its subsequent involvement in a cover-up. Proof of the incident was caught on video with a cell phone to help solidify their case.

"While the workers do sign contracts acknowledging that they must pass physicals, those contracts don't supersede the ADA, which requires that companies make reasonable accommodations for disabled employees," said Darryl Parker, the Seattle attorney who brought the case.

"Brown has spent most of his adult life in prison. Parker says his client is mentally ill and that the Washington Department of Corrections (DOC) needs to do a better job treating – instead of punishing – inmates who act up because of mental illness. 'You’re punishing someone for behavior they really can’t control,' Parker said. “I’m sure if he could stop, he’d stop.'"
